Problems with installing Arch on encrypted drive

Hello again!
I am now trying to install Arch Linux on my AA1L machine, with encrypted root partition. I have /dev/sda1 which is the unencrypted boot and /dev/sda2 which is the encrypted / partition. I followed the ArchWiki article which explained me to have 'encrypt' in the HOOKS variable of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. However when I boot, GRUB gives me "/dev/mapper/root not found". Any ideas what did I miss?

you should not "just have" the hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. It should be at the correct location (eg just before "filesystems")
Don't forget to rebuild your initcpio with mkinitcpio if you change settings in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
And also what Funbird said.
Both of these things are nicely documented @ http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LUKS_Encrypted_Root, btw

Problems with installing arch-0.7. (solved)

*GOSH* Me is so dumb sometimes... My testing computer, is not PII. It is only pentium. No wonder it aint working. My mistake, sorry.
Hello all !
I have a problem with installing arch-0.7.
When i am booting from CD, it starts to load kernel and so on, but it always restarts.
I have tryed starting it up with arch -noscsi, but it doesnt change anything. It restarts anyway. I get no error messages what so ever, it just restarts.
If there is anyone, who could help me out, give me a hint or something, i would really appreciate it. I am new to linux, and while browsing different distros, i found this one. And, it seems really good, so i decided to try it out, to see if it "does my work".
Thanks in advance.
Disc-Devil

Tnx !
I've found the pre.07-i586.iso... So, now i could try this out.
http://archlinux.veloxis.de/i586/iso/ar … e-i586.iso
If i understood, things right, i can still use sources? Even though, not every app is in the repository, i am able to use sources right?
Anyway, Tnx alot again, for giving me the gr8 tips.

Problem with install on new compy, something to do with external?

Hello, so I have been having a few problems with installing Arch on my new computer. On my old laptop I never ran into this problem on any distro of LINUX I installed, nor on any other of the systems I have installed Arch on. I believe it might have something to do with the fact that I am running the live cd off of an external dvd drive maybe? I am kind of stuck here, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If it helps
System Specs:
Motherboard: ASROCK 890FX Deluxe3

Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

1. Click Start and type %temp% in the run field and click OK.
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356) (if there is more than one 7z folder, try the most recent one)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the uninstall_ L4.bat for a non-HP PC or run the Uninstall_L3.bat for a HP PC
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

Equium P200-1ED - have problem with installing VGA driver

Hello
I have problem with installing vga video driver, each time in installion it stops on
Version: 6,14.10,4833 and there is error poping up.........
Please help!

Hello
What error message is it exactly?
Make sure that the chipset driver and SP2 is installed at least.
I had a similar issue that I cant install the display driver. The error message was something like the hardware is not supported
But it was very easy to solve this problem. I installed the driver via device manager. I have selected the graphic card and choose update driver. Then I did choose the advanced installation to choose the directory by myself.
Anyway, after restart the driver was installed and it worked. :)

Problem with installing CUCM on MCS-7816-I5

Hi to all.
I have a problem with installing CUCM 8.6.1 on new MCS-7816-I5 (IBM) hardware. The problem is that installation loops in restart after upgrading MCS firmware. Actualy, installation does not sucessfully upgrade firmware, so every time it detects old firmware and trying to upgrade it.

Hi Sinisa,
It almost sounds like this bug;
CSCtn81201
Incorrect "Hardware Configuration Error" due to hardware setup errors
Symptom:
Refresh upgrade stops with IMM device detection, and then server being reported as unsupported
Conditions:
in-band USB interface was disabled, which is configurable via IBM system X or IMM (browser) interfaces.
Workaround:
change the in-band usb interface settings to enabled.

If i installed windows 8.1 could i get latest AMD driver ? That is unlikely. You will be able to use the latest available modified AMD driver provided by HP. HP and AMD are different companies.

Problem with installing and uninstalling applicati...

hi all,
I have a problem with installing or uninstalling apps on 808. When i try to install an application through Nokia suite or when trying to run the application file from the phone's memory the screen freezes and becomes unresponsive but the 3 phone buttons work just fine. I have to shut down the phone and the screen becomes responsive again. Anything available to help me wiith this situations as I cannot use any of the apps I have. Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Alex

You are not alone. Im also having the same issue because we do alot of install and uninstall apps. This is the bad point of symbian. But I tired to install the latest FP2 it will be slightly abit smoother now. So you have the latest version now but did you tired to restore any backup yet? It might be the setting on when you restore that affect it. The feezing should be shorten on FP2 but it will still remain there depending on the type of apps from what I experience.
I hope they will provide multiple function to uninstall apps since it will go through a long process to uninstall apps 1 by 1.
Reason is because some apps will go through process like preparing install, process install, finalising install which take away your control for that few seconds or a minute instead runnning in background mode. Its not convenient to uninstall more apps.

Problem with installing Elements - from noob

I have problems with installing Elements, it gives my an unknown mistake - I already have CS4 up and running, could this be the case?

Chances are not very good that pse 4 will run on os x 10 6.8 unless you were upgrading from an earlier mac version that already had pse 4 installed.

Problem with installing iTunes

So these are my problems with installing iTunes.
At first it was :
A required iTunes component is not installed.Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-45019)
Then it got worse as it would not even open and these would appear:
The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
and this would appear:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I reinstalled maybe about 5 times or more...
If I thought I solved the above problem, this would appear:
iTunesHelper.exe is not installed on my computer.
I seen other people comment that you should unistall and restart the computer and install the setup again, but it does not work..
And others would say to repair the AAS or iTunes etc..
And after trying all these it does not work???
What else works?

I also tried repairing the Microsoft NET.

Problem with Installing Nokia Ovi Store in E51

I am having problem with installing nokia Ovi store in my E51. Whenever I try to download Ovi store from my E51, it shows a error message that the component is built in and cannot be installed. I dont know wat to do now. Can anyone please give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
This means that the Ovi Store is currently installed in your E52 phone, what I can suggest is try checking under Application Manager > Installed Application, check if the Ovi Store is there. If you can't see it, try to perform the soft reset (press *#7780# on the main screen of the phone and it will prompt you restore all original phone settings? phone will restart. Press YES and it will ask you for the lock code 12345.) If anything else please reply to this message.
Hope tis' Help!

Severe problem with installing and starting Audio-DVD Pla

Hi,
after installing the new drivers (SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe) for my Audigy2ZS in XP SP3 i had np mic boost and the mixer did not show the mic as an selectable source. So i rolled back to my old drivers and after that i have problems with installing and starting the Audio DVD Player. I tried so far: uninstalling everything like its said solution ID 72, checking HD for corrupted files and i did a repair installation of XP. Nothing helped. When i only install the drivers and the DVD Audio Player from the original CD everything is fine until the reboot adter installation. When the OS tries to start the "chkcolor.exe" the PC instantly reboots. When preventing XP from doing so, there is no reboot, but as soon i want to start the DVD Audio Player a reboot occurs again. When i try to uninstall the DVD Audio Player before unstillaing the drivers, the is also a reboot. First uninstalling the drivers and then the DVD Audio Player, there is no reboot.
Any ideas?
Best regards and thank in advance,
